MrB’s Oscar Night Accessories

I’m quite proud of this photo I took at the Weinstein Company’s Oscar viewing party. I was just trying to get a picture of MrB’s pearl cufflinks, but I managed to get a mini outfit photo. There you can see MrB’s Armani tux; Pucci bow tie; the Cartier watch I gave him for our wedding…

Love Valentine’s Day? Hate It? I’ve Got Jewelry for You.

February 1, 2013 by WendyB

Love Valentine’s Day? Hate It? I’ve Got Jewelry for You.

I bristle when I hear people complain that Valentine’s Day is a manufactured, consumerist holiday, then claim that THEY always express love with thoughtful gifts or acts on ordinary days. That would be lovely if it were true, but I suspect many of those folks of talking the talk, but not walking the walk. Blame…

Let’s All Stare at Rihanna’s Chest

Let’s All Stare at Rihanna’s Chest

I couldn’t sleep last night so I was surfing around teh Internets and came across some new photos of Rihanna. I noticed that she was wearing a couple of little necklaces, although they were barely visible in the photos. I thought, “I wish she were wearing one of my necklaces.” Then I said aloud: “WAIT!…

Jewel of the Month: Pearl Cufflinks for MrB’s Birthday

Today is MrB’s birthday: He’s turned the big Seven-Oh! A 70th birthday requires serious celebration, so over the weekend I organized a surprise dinner attended by his four children and two grandchildren. (Thanks to the peeps who flew from California and Florida for it.) I held it a few days before his birthday to throw…

Usher Was at the BET Awards; Nick Rhodes Is an Icon

Usher Was at the BET Awards; Nick Rhodes Is an Icon

I was headed out the door when the BET Awards came on last night, but I noticed my Twitter timeline blowing up with derogatory references to singer Usher and his “pink boots.”  During dinner, I kept wondering what he was wearing to cause such shock and dismay. For some reason, I kept envisioning baby-pink cowboy…

Jewels of the Month: Sulky and IDGAF Necklaces

I’m constantly working on new jewelry. I have three 18K gold pieces in the works, as well as one silver ring. I also have wax models made for two other 18K gold pieces and I’ve got ideas for dozens of other designs that I’ll do when I can afford them. Getting started on a new…

While I’m Waiting for Game of Thrones to Start …

May 20, 2012 by WendyB

While I’m Waiting for Game of Thrones to Start …

… I’ll take the opportunity to brag that Julie Gerstein of The Frisky thinks my jewelry designs are “very reminiscent of Cersei, Sansa, Dany and the lot.” Woot! I’d love to see my jewelry on any of the Game of Thrones ladies, but let’s not forget about Peter Dinklage, who won an Emmy for playing…

Fashion Repeats Itself: Rihanna Wears Black Mesh

Just a week ago, I did a Fashion Repeats Itself post comparing new black, mesh-topped dresses to a bodysuit I wore in 1993. On Sunday, Rihanna outdid the dress-wearing ladies by sporting a bodysuit JUST LIKE ME! Well, maybe not just like me. She forgot the mom jeans. The other thing Rihanna is missing is…
